When using the "external tool" way to build my project, i see only one
way to have a shortcut to start the build. Binding the "run last
launched external tool" to a key.
It would be nice to have a fixed key combination to start a fixed build.
Also it is important for me to have several different build targets
available in the same project.
Have i overseen the obvious way of doing this?

Before answering, remember Descent has forums:

I don't know if this is the right place to ask all questions about
Descent. Maybe it is? :)
I think the "external tool" thing is pretty limited, I don't know if you
can assign shortcuts to it, have many build targets, etc.
Do you need to compile all the build targets at the same time, or one at
a time is enough?

Not at the same time. There may be subprojects in a single source tree.
Unfortunately the build take some time (10 sec), so i can't (don't want)
to run them all in sequence, especially if i am not working on the other
subprojects.
